Lake Pomorie

205 Views 7 Votes 6 Comments

Pomorie Lake is a natural lagoon located to the north of the town of Pomorie, Bulgaria.

It is separated from the sea by a natural sandy belt, wide in places of 10-20 meters. Just south there is a sewer through which seawater flows.

Over the past years, sea salt has been harvested, and some of the facilities are still in operation today.

In the lake itself there is healing mud and lye, unique with its qualities for restoration and treatment of bone diseases.

From 2010 on the southern coast of Pomorie Lake is a visitor and nature conservation center.

Pomorie Lake and adjacent territories are declared a protected area.

Here, from a very small distance, different birds can be observed.

On the pins remaining from the old salt-pans, there are different gulls like a parade, and in the water you can see swans and cormorants.

  1. Lovely post. We have hot pools and geysers in Rotorua, people go there for the mud and healing spas as well.
    I hope to go again, Rotorua is a spectacular place to visit.

    • These are all good gifts from nature. I am delighted to visit Pomorie in the summer because of a holiday on the beach of the Black Sea, but many people yearn for it because of the mud.
